-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for NetSys 2021 PhD Forum & Early Work Track (September 13 - 16, Lübeck, Germany) Submission Deadline Early Work: May 28 - PhD Forum Participation: July 23 Datum: Mon, 17 May 2021 11:39:46 +0200 Von: Oliver Hohlfeld <oliver(a)INET.TU-BERLIN.DE> Antwort an: Oliver Hohlfeld <oliver(a)INET.TU-BERLIN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for NetSys 2021 PhD Forum September 13 till 16, 2021 – Lübeck, Germany https://netsys2021.org/phd-forum/ The PhD Forum at the Networked Systems 2021 follows the tradition and format of similar events at international conferences such as ICNP, PerCom, or UbiComp. The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in any phase of their career with an opportunity to discuss the hidden secrets behind doing a PhD and general career advice – topics that are rarely openly discussed (e.g., finding research problems, managing your supervisor, …) - during the PhD Forum on Monday. Second, it additionally provides PhD students the option to present their early work as poster and to discuss it with experts to gain general technical feedback during the Early Work Presentation taking place at the main conference. Beyond, attending the PhD Forum is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. *What can I Expect?* *PhD Forum: The hidden secrets when doing your PhD* This is a dedicated meeting on Monday before the main conference, full of discussions and fun with your direct peers and us. The aim of the PhD Forum is the discussion of meta aspects and experiences regarding a PhD – the hidden secrets when doing your PhD and general career advice. Potential topics will be: - Deep PhD study in the time of digital distraction - Having a family + doing a PhD – are you crazy? - Continuously improving my skills: e.g., speed reading and ultra learning - Doctoral supervision: being supervised and being a supervisor - Best paper stories: targeting high and being rejected - Academic peer review: what are factors that determine paper acceptance / rejection and why are some of them random? - How dare you to steal my contributions?! Working in teams and writing a PhD thesis - Working internationally - Becoming a team leader and how to find good students - Hints on writing papers and making presentations – please don’t overload To tailor the discussion of meta aspects to your interest, attendance requires the submission of input in advance (e.g., questions on which we will organize the day) mentioned in the call below. As done at NetSys 2019, we will also invite keynote speakers who will report about their research journey from a PhD student to a leading expert. *Early Work Poster Presentation:* In addition to the PhD Forum, an early work poster presentation of selected participants will take place during a poster session at the main conference. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) during the main conference program is used to attract attention of conference participants to this early work poster session. The PhD Forum + Early Work Poster Presentation are special opportunities to discuss research plans and results face-to-face with professors and senior researchers in individual groups outside the own lab. *What should I submit – One Forum but Two Calls!* *Call PhD Forum attendance (always required):* The first call concerns the participation at the PhD Forum on Monday that focuses on discussing meta aspects concerning the PhD process (e.g., research, publication strategies, time management, …). If you plan to attend on Monday, submit to this call (no poster abstract required). If you plan to also submit an Early Work Poster Presentation (see next call), you must also submit to this call in addition. *What to submit:* Prospective participants should prepare an application that includes the following information: - Curriculum Vitae: a brief CV that lists the education and research interests of the PhD student. - A motivational letter (~1 page): the motivational letter should discuss the following aspects in the following order: - Motivation: why do do want to attend the PhD Forum and what do you expect from it? (1 paragraph) - Your research area and the specific problem that you would think to work on. (1 paragraph) - Questions you would like to discuss at the PhD Forum (e.g., how to find a good research problem, how to manage time, how to manage your supervisor, …). We will structure the PhD Forum on Monday around discussing your questions (>3 questions) Submission should be done electronically as PDF, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netsys2021 *Call Early Work Poster Presentation (optional, but expected for more experienced (> 1 year) PhD students):* For more experienced PhD students (> 1 year of their PhD) that want to present their preliminary work during our poster and madness session during the main conference. Note, however, also fresh PhD students can submit an early work proposal. *Student research competition:* We will award the best early work poster presentation (i.e., madness presentation and poster). The early work submissions will be peer reviewed by experts from the main conference. Submission implies that the PhD student registered for the PhD forum. That is, when submitting an early work poster, you must additionally have submitted to the PhD Forum call for attendance before (see above). Submission should be done electronically as PDF, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netsys2021 *Submission Guidelines for Early Work Poster Presentation* All early work poster presentation submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication. Early work submissions are limited to 4 pages including figures and tables (at least 10pt font, one-column format) plus 1 page for references. LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting instructions, are available online here. Accepted and presented extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceeding. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference to present the poster. *Important Dates:* *Call Early Work Poster submissions* Registration & submission: *Friday, May 28th, 2021* Notification of acceptance: July 8, 2021 Camera ready version: July 22, 2021 *Call PhD Forum submissions* Registration & submission: *Friday, July 23, 2021* Notification of acceptance: Friday, July 30, 2021 PhD Forum: Monday, September 13, 2020 *PhD Forum Chairs* - Andreas Blenk – Technical University of Munich, Germany/University of Vienna, Faculty of Computer Science, Austria - Oliver Hohlfeld – Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), Germany -- Prof. Oliver Hohlfeld Chair of Computer Networks Brandenburg University of Technology https://www.b-tu.de/en/fg-rechnernetze www.ohohlfeld.com ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Anna Kobusińska" <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> Gesendet: 10. Mai 2021 22:09:06 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021) *CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-May-2021 Acceptance deadline: 31-Oct-2021 Publication: late 2021 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought.
